Martina’s whole wheat cheese rolls

My friend Martina (hello, Martina :) brought me some homemade fresh cheese the other day with a request to make and publish a recipe with it – because she no longer knows what to make or bake with it. No problem, challenge accepted :)

I found these rolls in several places, and the author is Tamara from the blog Bite my cake. First time I’ve worked with the original recipe and I loved it, but later I modified it a bit – replaced the flour with whole wheat, reduced the amount of fat and changed some spices. I always do a half of the mixture and I always make them without filling them – but you can fill them with anything: cheese, ham, butter with spices, boiled eggs and cucumbers …

Just for info – I’ve still got a lot of cheese, there will be more recipes these days :)

Mix the flour and baking powder on your counter, and then add all the other intgredients and knead a soft dough. Add flour as needed to get the dough not to stick to the surface.

Roll into a round shape and a thickness of about half a centimeter. Cut into 8 or 16 equal triangles (judge for yourself, and if you don't like the sizes, knead the dough again). Roll each triangle from the base to the top.

Mix the egg yolk, milk and pepper and coat each roll with it. Sprinkle with spices or seeds if desired. I used oregano and basil and they smelled like pizza rolls :)

If you want, you can roll up the ends inward or leave the roll s+straight. Bake for 20 minutes until nicely brown. When they are done, wrap them in a cloth for 15 minutes to soften slightly. Thats it, enjoy :)
